Did you have any hum in your system, or are you using this device solely to lower the noise floor?
Gutwire Perfect Grounding Cable
The cable's single rca plug is connected to an unused input on my Pathos TT integrated and the AC connector is plugged into an unused wall socket. It isn't broken in yet, but there is an immediate improvement (reduction of the noise floor, etc.) consistent with the review.Haven't tried grounding boxes (e.g.,Entreq) because of their cost, but the Blue Moon award (Six Moons) winning Gutwire Perfect Ground cable at under $300 (see Gutwire's website) is worth trying.

Any review in 6Moons is suspect. The publisher is very open about his "pay to play" business model. Any company wanting a review has to pay for it. So reviews in 6Moons are just another form of paid advertising. I am not saying other webzines don't do this too but 6Moons is the only one I know of that admits this openly. |
@randy-11 Gutwire's explanation from the 6 Moons review (see link here)... http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/gutwire/1.html "Q: How does your grounding cable work and why is it necessary? A: Our ground cable provides the shortest path to ground from the circuit board. Why do you need extra grounding when the ground already exists between your equipment and the wall? If you open up the chassis of any equipment, you'll notice that the circuit board ground may not be directly connected to the ground of the IEC inlet. Our ground cable directly grounds circuit board to earth ground. It drains away any noise the circuit board may have." Just passing along the info. Don't take this as representing any sort of O-pinion pro or con. |
